Publishing

Once we’ve completed the book, I can manage the publishing.

The self-publishing process can be tricky. Do yourself a favor and let me handle it for you. For a fee of just $2,500, I’ll take care of the following, including all the expenses thereof:

Secure the International Standard Book Number (ISBN—necessary for retail selling of the book)

Secure your book’s copyright from the U.S. Copyright Office

Help you decide on the appropriate retail price of the book

Secure the barcode

Secure the Library of Congress number

Manage the design of the front and back cover (to your satisfaction)

Write the front and back cover content

Manage the interior design and formatting

Manage the production of the ebook version

Get your book into the necessary distribution channels (chiefly IngramSpark and KDP) so that it appears on Amazon and all other major retail outlets

Write the Amazon page content

Consult with you on how to manage your distribution accounts so that you can track sales

Send you the first 25 copies of your book for free!

Write a press release that you can send to media outlets of your choosing

Help you with marketing ideas

Are you interested in trying to interest a big publishing house instead of self-publishing? I can help you with that, too, though it should be noted that it’s extraordinarily difficult to get a book published by a mainstream publishing house in today’s literary marketplace. Technology (with the Internet and, especially, Amazon) has been terrific for the consumer, but not so much for the producer. Book profits are down and publishers are now very selective about what they accept. But it can be done. New authors get published every day. If you want to try this route, I’m well-versed in the process and I’ll be happy to help all I can.
